entry description
Population of Hong Kong loves sport, and its part of their culture. Even old people continue practicing Qi Gong every morning at sunrise. At every corner of the streets, behind any tower block, you can find a playground, a tennis or football court and more frequently a basketball court. Most of the time some young people are practicing their shoot or playing a one against one. These playgrounds are part of the urban landscape and perfectly melt with this massive and colorful architecture. Those photographs illustrate this mix between urban culture and the extravagant architecture of this inordinate megalopolis.(Series have been made in February 2018)
about the photographer

Musician in the band Teenage Bad Girl, he has produced two albums and performed in over 200 concerts internationally, between 2007 and 2011.

Second discovery in 2007, with the purchase of his first non-digital Canon AE-1. He recently took a postgraduate course at Les Gobelins in Paris to learn different photographic techniques.back to gallery
